13. System Functions
This chapter explains various important system functions.
The basic settings of these system functions are usually already selected perfectly for most areas of application.
Therefore, we recommend only adjusting these parameters in the respective application cases.
If the GX111 has any malfunctions, reactivate the default settings first.
Before contacting our hotline (see chapter 1), always ensure that the GX111 is in the standard configuration
(factory settings) again.
a) Time between Two Alarm Messages („IDLEALARM")
In case of alarm, the GX111 will send an alarm message. From this time onwards, a time window (idle window) starts
for this input (sensor, GPS, etc...); during this time, no other alarm can be triggered.
This reduces the text message costs caused by an incorrectly set configuration of the GX111.
Every alarm source has its own idle time window. A value of 120 seconds is set in the factory for the idle time window.
The following command is used to change this idle window:
SET IDLEALARM <Time> #1513
Time:
30 - 3600 seconds
Example:
SET IDLEALARM 240 #1513
The minimum period between alarm messages is now 240 minutes (4 minutes).
In this time window, you will not receive any new messages on alarm situation changes.
Values below the standard value of 120 seconds should only be used for test purposes where possible.
Changing the alarm value of a sensor will reset „IDLEALARM" timer and the senor may trigger an alarm
again at once.
Example:
The shock sensor is configured with maximum sensitivity. The „IDLEALARM" timer will start from the time after which
all alarm text messages have been sent. If the sensor is triggered again within the idle time window, no alarm is
triggered (idle time has not expired yet).
Only after the end of the idle time window can another alarm be triggered by the shock sensor.
This does not refer to the other sensors, e.g. the light sensor. Each alarm source has its own idle time
window!
